The Birth of Mantle 2020: Redefining Quiet Luxury
In the dynamic world of fashion, where trends come and go with the seasons, Mantle 2020 stands out as a beacon of timeless elegance and understated sophistication. Launched in the year 2023, Mantle emerged as a brand committed to the philosophy of quiet luxury, catering to discerning fashion followers who value quality and subtlety over logos and fleeting trends.
Founding Mantle 2020
Having worked in some of the biggest fashion brands in the industry, across a number of different roles, founding his own brand seemed like a dream, rather than a possible reality, especially having never studied design. While working in a buying team, looking after brands that were smaller and looking for help with design, the founder taught himself about the practices needed to be successful in this field. The first collection he designed with a brand, was a huge success and sold out in a few months. Seeing people around the brand building wearing pieces he had helped design, was a moment that put the thought into his head he could do this for himself. So he came up with a plan.
During this time, the founder moved from London, to Glasgow, while still planning. However, the timing never felt right to launch. Working with new products in Glasgow, further shaped the vision of what the brand would look like. After 4 years of planning and researching, the vision was finally clear.
The inception of Mantle 2020 was a simple vision: to create a brand that encapsulates the essence of quiet luxury. He believed that true elegance does not shout; it whispers. This belief became the cornerstone of Mantle 2020, guiding every decision from fabric selection to design philosophy.
Quiet luxury, as envisioned by the founder, is about impeccable craftsmanship, refined aesthetics, and a focus on enduring quality. It is luxury that is felt rather than seen, appreciated by those who understand the subtleties of fine tailoring and premium materials.
As well as this, the focus was not on creating single garments, but was to create wardrobes. Each collection was created to be a timeless capsule wardrobe, with each piece designed to be worn together. Future collections are all designed, while referencing previous ones, meaning that someone who is investing in Mantle now, and in five years time, will be able to mix and match pieces through collections. Providing an effortless and luxurious way of getting dressed in the morning.
Craftsmanship at Its Finest
One of the defining features of Mantle 2020 is its unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. The brand partners with some of the finest artisans in the world, ensuring that every piece of clothing is a masterpiece of precision and skill. From hand-stitched seams to meticulously selected fabrics, every element of Mantle’s clothing reflects an unparalleled attention to detail.
The brand’s collections feature a range of menswear staples, from impeccably tailored trousers and shirts to luxurious sweats and jackets. Each item is designed to seamlessly integrate into a modern wardrobe, offering versatility without compromising on style.
Sustainable Luxury
In addition to its dedication to quality, Mantle 2020 is also deeply committed to sustainability. The founder recognised early on that true luxury is not just about the finest materials and craftsmanship, but also about responsibility and ethical practices. Mantle sources its materials from sustainable and ethical suppliers, ensuring that each piece is not only beautiful but also has a minimal environmental footprint, by sourcing all fabrics and hardware and producing each piece in the United Kingdom
The brand’s approach to sustainability extends beyond materials to include thoughtful production processes and a commitment to reducing waste. By creating timeless pieces designed to last, Mantle encourages a move away from fast fashion towards a more sustainable, considered approach to dressing.
The Essence of Quiet Luxury
What sets Mantle 2020 apart in the crowded landscape of fashion is its embrace of quiet luxury. In a world where conspicuous consumption often takes centre stage, Mantle offers an alternative for those who appreciate the finer things in life but prefer a more understated expression of style.
Quiet luxury is about subtlety and refinement. It’s about the feel of a perfectly crafted fabric against the skin, the impeccable fit of a garment, and the confidence that comes from wearing something that is both beautiful and enduring. Mantle’s designs are characterised by clean lines, classic silhouettes, and a muted colour palette, all of which contribute to a look that is effortlessly sophisticated.
